Artist: Marcel Dettmann

Prime Numbers and founder Trus'me have been providing heat across the board of club music for a decent while now, even though their catalogue only stretches twelve official Prime Numbers releases, they have been keeping it prime for over four years, expanding into sister labels such as Fat City and the Link series, reserved exclusively for the excellent Linkwood productions. The twelfth release in their quality collection is a pair of high profile techno remixes from MDR founders Marcel Dettmann & Norman Nodge respectively. I was lucky enough to catch Trus'me play at Sugar earlier this [...]

Dj Charts: Beatport Selection Feb 2012 by Ben Sims. genre: Techno.

Marcel made an exclusive track for Music Man! "Landscape" is nothing but a wonderful trip, as you will hear. On remix duties is Answer Code Request, a close friend of Marcel.

Painting by Daniel Mackie [ Delsin ] For many of us, Morphosis' full-length debut was a particularly vital record last year. Recorded live over the course of just two days, What Have We Learned 's jumbled, murky compositions felt refreshing when compared to some of its more fastidious peers. It follows that a remix package would be similarly exciting, especially when the reins [...]

As expected, the 2012 installment of Igloofest has been an amazing success thus far. A-Trak, Buraka Som Systema, French Fries, Max Cooper, Sebastian Leger and many more have already managed to melt faces in the sub-zero temperatures, and the festival isn't even close to finished yet. So far we've already seen the first ever sell-out in Igloofest history, with over 10,000 rabid fans descending on the Quays on Saturday night, so be sure to get your tickets for this weekend early. Thursday will be headlined by Montreal native Black Tiger Sex Machine as well as international EDM superhero [...]

• Major Lazer - Original Don (Flosstradamus Remix)

Penique Productions [ Marcel Dettmann Records ] Like his Ostgut Ton colleague Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann is rather selective about the artists who release on his eponymous label. His ear for outstanding techno has yet to disappoint the imprint's dedicated fans, inviting Norman Nodge to make his debut and T++ to remix two of MD's tracks. Dettmann entrusted the eighth volume with Wincent Kunth, an unknown, [...]

[50 Weapons] Much has been made of the perceived impenetrable and "steely" dourness of Marcel Dettmann productions over the past few years. By contrast, much less has been made of the inherent funk that is equally central to the sound. As a DJ, this has recently been showcased to fine effect on his new Conducted mix (which contains none of his own productions). Here on Modeselector's 50 Weapons, he delivers [...]

Her pink cheeks and red mouth were the last parts he saw as she stepped into the cab and out of the cold morning air. He knew he would never see her again. Not in Berlin. Not in London. The streetlights flickered as they turned on. He stood on the curb and watched the cab take her toward a hostel in Mitte. He put his right palm in the air; half-saluting. Marcel Dettmann - Lattice He had been optimistic about seeing her again because she was so open about leaving Miami [...]

• lucy - Lucy @ Berghain 20-11-2010

techno. saturday. while omar and myself were in london, we were lucky enough to check out berghain's marcel dettman at an ostgut ton night.. much of the evenings proceedings passed in an intoxicated blur, but what i do remember is dettman's cold visage gazing out over the crowd whilst droves of pounding, no nonsense german techno stirred the crowd to frenzy. "planning" (a cut from his " translations " ep from last month) perfectly illustrates what we were faced with that night. fantastic: Marcel Dettmann - Planning [...]

• Kassem Mosse - Enoha
• Marcel Dettmann - Planning
• Miss Kittin - Requiem for a Hit (featuring L.A. Williams)

Artwork by Jonas Eriksson [ Ostgut Ton ] Marcel Dettmann reawakened the relationship between industrial abstraction and techno on his steely yet gritty debut album, but his new EP Translation sees the German DJ/producer operating in a radically different sphere. Indeed, this creative restlessness is a common feature of his catalog so far: just as soon as he teases [...]

A very inspiring look inside the process of Marcel Dettmann's latest mix CD out soon on Music Man Records. He talks about Berlin, spending all of his money on records at Hard Wax, and the comparison of a sports personality and playing a 12 hour set at the legendary Berlin club, Berghain. The best thing is, is that what happens in Berghain, stays in Berghain. You can go there and completely freak out and not see pictures on the world wide web during the week...

Helsingin Suvilahdessa järjestyksessään kahdeksatta kertaa 12.–14. elokuuta järjestettävän Flow Festivalin esiintyjäkaarti täydentyy edelleen. Ohjelmistoon on luvassa vielä lisäyksiä alkukesästä kokeelliseen musiikkiin ja visuaaliseen taiteeseen keskittyvän The Other Sound -konseptin sekä yksittäisten esiintyjien myötä. Tuoreena nimenä Flow-ohjelmistoon liittyvä Empire of the Sun saapuu Suomeen ensimmäistä kertaa. Näyttävistä audiovisuaalisista esiintymisistään tunnettu australialaisduo oli mm. äskettäisen Kaliforniassa järjestetyn Coachella-festivaalin kehutuimpia esiintyjiä, jonka suureellista show'ta kehuttiin musiikkimediassa futuristiseksi elektro-rock -spektaakkeliksi. Muita uusia Flow-julkistuksia ovat persoonallisella indie-elektrollaan suomalaisyleisönkin hurmannut espanjalaisartisti El Guincho , newyorkilainen DJ-legenda Danny Krivit , ja Berliinin kuulun Berghain-klubin vakionimiin [...]

Berghain-Resident Marcel Dettmann hat für die Mixtape-Serie der japanischen Fashionistas oki-ni in die Plattenregale gegriffen, vor denen er sonst eher selten steht, und einen ganzen Schwung Platten, die seine frühe musikalische Sozialisation geprägt haben, hervor gezaubert. I started to check in that special part of my record shelf where I'm normally rarely seen and there I found Cluster - Zuckerzeit, a record which was given to me by my dad because I used to listen to it so often when I was a child. The whole process of putting the tracks for the [...]

Known within dance music circles as one of the world's most accomplished DJs, Marcel Dettmann has compiled a dark and brooding mix, not from the dancefloor of Berghain, but from the "special self" of his record collection. Essentially Germanic, his mix blends haunting Krautrock, The Cure and sections of the score from Das Boot. DOWNLOAD: oki-ni presents SEDUCTION by Marcel Dettmann TRACKLISTING: [...]

For your Friday afternoon fix, please seriously enjoy this really amazing mix of Krautrock and dark New Wave songs from Berghain, Berlin's amazingly well-known DJ Marcel Dettmann, who gets our seal of approval for the inclusion of score bits from "Das Boot" along with Front 242. So, stop time-wasting and get on with it. It's [...]

[ Kontra-Musik ] ( buy vinyl ) (buy mp3s tk) The latest offering on the increasingly adventurous Kontra-Musik proves that first impressions are often misleading. Following last year's stunning debut album, Marcel Dettmann's latest move is to reconstitute parts, samples and "inspiration" from Swedish dub/drone merchant Mokira - who has graced left of center labels like Type, Raster Noton and Mille Plateaux - into an EP for Kontra. Given the source material, Dettmann's tendency (and techno music's generally) towards making experimental abstract techno, and the title, Factory Report - [...]

To many, Ben Klock is techno. Given his lengthy CV, this is hardly surprising. Resident at the largely undisputed Mecca of techno, part of the stacked roster of the epoch-defining Ostgut Ton, and creator of numerous staples found in many techno jocks' bags, Klock is a producer and DJ who seems equally at home with both professions. It hasn't been immediate success for Klock, though, as he's spent much of his career in the trenches both finding his sound and a receptive audience. As the craving for Klock's brand of techno grows more and more widespread by the day, so [...]

[ MDR ] ( buy vinyl ) Like much of the label owner's recent artist album, the seventh release on Marcel Dettmann Records, composed by Norman Nodge, begins with the crackling, abstract noise and industrial undercurrents of "DNA." This of course is hardly surprising; there is no one else among the Berghain stable whose being is so connected to the history of techno music, so hot-wired to its heritage as Dettmann or Nodge. You can see it in their chiseled, stark features, hear it in their blindingly purist sets and it [...]

La Wallonie, Liège, son architecture à la fois romane et industrielle, ses chocolats chauds, ses bars chaleureux. Les Transardentes en plus de la musique c'est à peu près ça: un périple aux multiples souvenirs. Ce n'était pas sans surprises que même un père de famille accompagné de sa belle-mère nous répondait par reflex "Les Transardentes ?" avant même de lui demander notre chemin. Nous étions donc prévenus. Les festivals en Belgique ont la réputation d'être une véritable institution, les Transardentes en faisant bien naturellement partie. La dite réputation prend alors réellement forme une fois [...]
